The start-up Froor system equipped a MacBook Air 15 with three AirJet mini coolers. Thanks to new cooling technology, MacBooks can achieve more performance and don’t have to throttle down due to overheating.
US media PCWorld and The Verge visited Frore Systems and were able to take a look Converted to Airjet Check out the MacBook Air 15 (M2) and compare it to commercially available versions with passive cooling. AirJet cooling technology was announced in December 2022 and now there is a mini PC from Zotac with AirJet in stores. We were able to see innovative cooling at Computex this year (it was the highlight of the silent trade show for Ariane and me).
Modified MacBook stuck by Frore system drei airjet mini Instead of a passive heat sink. Airjet modules attract air using a vibrating membrane in the ultrasonic range. It is then converted into a rapid flow of air (so-called airjet), which breaks the air layer between the radiator and the heat source and disperses the heat more efficiently than traditional cooling solutions. The whole thing doesn’t need a spinning fan, you just hear the quiet moving air.
Performance is maintained longer
It worked in a variety of test scenarios The AirJet-cooled MacBook Air is slightly faster And it can Maintain performance levels longer. The passively cooled version must throttle the M2 chip under sustained load for thermal reasons. The start-up claims a 67 percent improvement in sustained CPU performance (from 12 watts to 20 watts) and a 23 percent increase in sustained CPU clock speeds (from 2.6 GHz to 3.2 GHz). This resulted in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, for example 29 instead of 23 FPS. Frore Systems also managed to achieve a result in Cinebench 12 percent higher multi-core results to reach
Until recently there was still the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which included active cooling (fans) unlike the nearly identical Air model. Now there are only the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air with official prices of 1,299 and 1,599 euros (M2 chip), followed by the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 chip for 1,999 euros.
The redesigned M2 model of the MacBook Air is thinner than its predecessor, which is why it’s unclear if a fan will even fit a Pro version. Airjet cooling systems provide a solution here The AirJet Mini is only 2.8 millimeters thin And weighs only nine grams. However, to implement it on the 15-inch MacBook Air, the start-up had to mill 0.3 millimeters off the metal casing (bottom).
